Wii Ware hasn't even started yet, but the download service's lineup is already filling up. The latest game announcement comes our way from Japan, where Hudson and Tetris Online have just announced a version of Tetris for the service.

Titled simply "Tetris," the Wii Ware version of the original falling blocks puzzler will feature online support, allowing up to six players from around the world to face off. On top of the classic Tetris gameplay, expect Wiimote-based pointer and motion controls and a mode of play where players have to contend with obstacles.

A Japanese release through Hudson is planned for this Summer. Internationally, the game will be released simultaneously through Tetris Online. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Hudson and Tetris Online are aiming for one million downloads worldwide.
